RIDING-PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 658,334, datedSeptember 25, 1900;

Application filed March 14, 1899.. Serial No. 709,108. (No modelc v ToaLZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM ALBERT BALDWIN, residing at Smiths Falls,county of Lanark, and THOMAS JoHNsTON,.residing at Kemptville, countyofGrenville, Province of Ontario, Canada, subjects of Her Majesty theQueen of Great Britain, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Riding-Plows; and we do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

Our invention relates to improvements in riding-plows. a

One object of our invention is to provide a plow of this class which isabsolutely under the control of the driver, which can be readilyadjusted to make a shallow or deep and narrow or wide furrow, which isneat and at tractive in appearance, durable in construction, simple andefficient in operation, and which can be made at a moderate cost.

Another object is to provide a rolling landside which,in addition toperforming the functions of the ordinary landside, serves as a guidingor steering wheel for the plow.

A further object is to provide mechanism for adjustably regulating thepath of movement of the rolling landside.

A further object is to provide mechanism for automatically andadjustably regulating the path of movement of the rolling landside.

A further object is to provide mechanism for regulating the angle of themoldboard to turn the furrow over completely or partially.

A further object is to adjustably regulate the position of the plow-beamrelative to the supporting-wheels, by means of which the furrow may bewidened or narrowed.

A further object is to automatically move the plow to an adjustableposition relative to the supporting-wheels.

A further object is to provide adjusting mechanism for adj ustablyregulating the position of the rolling landside and holding saidlandside in its adjusted position.

To these and other ends our invention consists in the improvedconstruction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In using riding-plows several difficulties have beenfound,forminggreatdisad vantages, which have been sufficient to causesuch plows to become a somewhat undesired article. The principal causeof these diffi'culties has been the fact that the plow is not steady inits movement and when adjusted will not be held in such adjustedposition positively. To remedy these difliculties and provide aconstruction in which the disadvantages are eliminated, we make use of aconstruction by means of which the plow is held fixedlyin position, yetbe capable of being adjustably moved, such movement being accomplishedby the movement of the plow, which automatically seeks to pass to itsadjusted position.

In order that the detailed description hereinafter given and thedifficulties heretofore set forth may be more readily understood, we

Fig. 7 is a detail of the inner member which serves to steer the plow.

now give a general statement, which will illustrate the operation ofthis portion of the plow. The plow is provided with an axle and wheels,on which is mounted a sliding carriage To this carriage the plow-beam ispivotally connected, the rear end of which is provided with apivotally-mounted rolling landside, The carriage and landside-supportare connected together by an adjustable rod, said rod extending at anangle to the plow-beam and passing over said beam at a point near itsrear end. This rod is adjusted so that the landside will be heldnormally in a direction parallel with the direction of the wheels, beingheld in this position by a locking-arm, which prevents the rod frommoving. Whenthe plow is to be moved to increase or decreasethe furrow,the operator moves the sliding carriage laterally in the properdirection, first releasing the locking-arm, the carriage carrying withit the front end of the beam. This movement of the carriage immediatelyrotates the land side by reason of the increasing or decreasing of theangle between the connectingpoints of the rod, thus moving the landsideat an angle to the direction of movement of the wheels, which retaintheir normal position. When the landside is so turned, it acts in amannersiini larto a rudder, causing the rear end of the beam to move ina corresponding direction toward its normal position at right angles tothe axle. As the rear end of the beam makes this movement the anglebetween the connecting-points of the adjustable rodbecomes automaticallychanged, makingacorresp'onding alteration of the direction of movementuntil the beam has reached its normal position, at which time theconnecting-rod will be in its normal position and angle. In this mannerthe plow is-moved to its new position without disturbing the position ofthe wheels, the movement being automatically regulated. After themovement the locking-arm is again placed in position i and the landsideheld fixedly against any movement which would tend to move the plowtoward the landside, which is the natural tendency by reason of theweight of the furrowturn'ed up.

Another disadvantage arising in the use of this class of plows isth'at'when th e plow contacts with any foreign substance-such as rootsor stones, &C.-th8 plow is thrown into the air, carrying with it theri'der, who is oftentimes injured. In the present'construction this isprevented by the use of a bar which is connected to the frame in frontof the axle and has its rear portion mounted in a. link suspended fromthe beam. Any tendency of movement of the plow upward to anyextentisthus prevented by the construction of the supporting-casting, whichprevents the rear end of the bar from rising.

Other advantagesof construction and operation appear, but will be setforth indetail hereinafter.

1 designates the axle, having one of its ends radial direction, as shownin Fig. 18.

provided with the down wardly-extending arni 2, the lower end of whichis connected to the furrow-wheel 3. The wheel 3 is connected to the arm2 in a manner similar tothat shown in Fig. 6, in which figure themounting of the rolling landside is shown. The opposite end of the axleis provided with a laterallyextending plate 80, having an elongated slot81 and having its outer face corrugated llflxa n arm 82 is pivotallymounted. on the end of the axle and extends rearwardly therefromalongside the plate 80, being adjustably connected therewith by meansofthe bolt 83, passing through an opening 84, formed therein, the innerface of the arm 82 being provided with corrugations similar to the plate80, the corrugated portionof the plate and armbeing adapted to meet,and'thus aid in retaining the arm in its adjusted position. To the freeend of the arm 82 is secured the landside-wheel 85, connected to saidarm in a manner similar to the movement of the wheel 3, the wheel beingof less diameter than the wheel 3, the arm 82 being consequently ofgreater length than the arm 2 in order that the axle may, if desired beheld in a true horizontal position. This constructionis arranged in thismanner in order that the moldboard may be adjusted to different angles,thereby causing the furrow to be turned'overentirely or but partially,as may bedesired, thedesired inclination being obtained by moving thearm 82 on its pivot (the axle) until the wheel 85 passes to a pointwhere the axle will have a'proper inclination when both wheels are onthe ground.

at designates a carriage slid'ably mounted on the axle (saidca'rriagebeing bestshown in Fig. 9) and comprises the yoke 5, having bearings 6,which areloosely mounted on the axle 1. The yoke is provided with anopening 7, through which a pin 8 is passed, on which is pivotallymounted the front end of the beam 9. The rear end of the beam 9 isprovided with a pivotally-m'ounted support 10, said support having adownwardly extending portion 11, having at its lowerend a'c'ollar 12 andadapted to receive one end of acqlla'r l3, which extends laterally asuitable distance, said ,collar being adapted to passwitltin aperipheral collar 14, having a series of laterally-extending lugs 15,adapted to be secured to the rolling landside 16. The landside is formedsubstantially as shown in Fig. 6, comprising acircular disk 17, havingits front face provided with an integral extension 18, having a recess19, within which the collars 13 and 14 extend, the collar 13 having itsfront end provided with lugs 20, adapted to receive a washer 21, throughwhich and the collar 13 and portion 11 is adapted to be passed a bolt22, secured in position by the nut 23. The collar 13 is further providedwith an annular flange 23, from which extends forwardly the flange 24,thus forming an annular recess 25 between the flange 2-1:

and the outer periphery of the collar 13, within which the rear end ofthe collar 14 is adapted to fit. The landside is also provided at itsperiphery with a rearwardly-extending ann ular flange 26, which rests onthe ground. By this construction it will be seen that anabsolutelydirt-proof bushing is formed, the assembling of which is doneas follows: The collar 14 is first placed in'position on the collar 13,leaving the lugs 20 extending. The washer 21 is then placed over saidlugs, thereby closing the front end of said collars, with the exceptionof a central opening, through which the bolt 22 is passed, carriedthrough the collar 13 and the collar 12 of the portion 11, being securedin position by the nut 23. The landside is now passed into position andsecured to the lugs 15 by suitable bolts.

The support 10 above the beam 9 is provided with an extension 2'7,having near its end an opening 28, adapted to receive the rear end of aforwardly-extending rod 29, the front end of which is adjustably mountedin a screwthreaded nut 30, pivotally secured on the rear end of a rod31,- the forward end of which is reinovably secured in an opening 32,formed in the yoke 5, at one side thereof, the openings 32 and 28 beinglocated on opposite sides of the beam 1. By this construction it will bereadily seen that the yoke 5 and support 10 are connected together bymeans of a rod which, while formed sectionally, the sections being adjustably con nected, is for all purposes rigid, so that if the yoke 5 isheld stationary the support 10 and the rolling landside which it carrieswill be held in a relatively-fixed position. The nut 30 allows of theadjustment of the position'of the support toa nicety and also allows ofa takingup of any wear which may result from use.

To hold the rod in its fixed position, we pro vide a locking-arm 33,pivotally connected to an ear 34, formed on the plow-standard 35, towhich is also connected the supportingarm 36 for the seat 37. Thelocking-arm 33 is formed with a recess 38, which is adapted to normallyrest on the rod between the nut 30 and the arm 36. This will prevent therod from moving forwardly, although the movement of the plow andpressure on the moldboard would tend to cause such forward movement.

The yoke 5 is provided with an extension 39, forming a continuousbearing on the axle 1 on the side opposite to the opening 32, saidextension havinga rearwardly-extending portion 40, having its rear endformed with a notched segment 41. The portion 40 is adapted to receive arearwardly-extending lever 42, having a pawl adapted to normally rest inone of said notches, the front end of said lever being provided with anopening43, adapted to receive one end of a connecting-rod 44, having itsopposite end secured in an opening 45, formed in a standard 46, fixedlysecured on the axle 1. intermediate the bearings 6. It will be readilyseen that when the lever 42 is oscillated the carriage 4 will be movedon the axle in a corresponding direction, the point of connection of therod 44 and the lever 42 forming the fulcrum. If the lever 42 is movedtoward the right by the driver, the carriage 4will be moved in acorresponding direct-ion, carrying with it the front end of the beam 9,and thus changing the angle of the beam and of the rod connecting theyoke and the support 10. As hereinbefore explained, this changing of theangle of the rod will cause the end of the extension 10 to be movedforwardly, moving the rollinglandside to a position in which the forwardmove-' ment of the plow will cause the rear end of the beam to becarried to the right, this movement constantly changing the angle of thebeam and automatically moving the end of the extension toward its normalposition, which is reached when the beam 9 again reaches a position atright angles to the axle 1. A movement to the left of the carriage 4causes the beam 9 to have'a corresponding movement through the medium ofthe rolling landside.

As it is essential that the depth of the furrow be regulated, we providethe beam '9-with a suitable notched segment 47, which is adapted tocoact with a pawl 48, formed on a pivotally-monnted lever 49, said leverbeing connected, by means of a suitable bar or rod 50, to the outer endof the standard 46. When it is desired to deepen the furrow, the lever49 is moved forwardly, causing the axle l to rotate, said rotationcausing the arms 2 to have a segmental movement, which movement allowsthe axle 1 to be lowered, which in turn allows the beam 9 to be lowered.A movement of the lever 49 in the opposite direction serves to raise theaxle 1 in an obvious manner.

The standard 35 is of any preferred form,

to which the moldboard and plow-point are secured.

As shown, no landside is needed, as the rolling landside accomplishesthe same ends in addition to forming the guiding or steering wheel. Thisstandard is provided with a suitable recess 51, within which isremovably and adjustably secured the colter 52, extending upwardlytherefrom at any desired angle and to anydesi red distance. While wehave shown the colter as being secured to the standard, it is to beunderstood that such colter may also be secured to the moldboard or theordinary landside when used, we claiming the principle of securing thecolter to the furrow-making portion of the plow, broadly. I

The draft-equalizer is best shown in Fig. 12 and comprises two plates 5354, pivotally connected to the under side of the pole or tongue 55. Tothe outerrend of the plate 53 the singletree 56 is secured, and to theouter end of the plate 54 is secured the doubletree 57, or a singletreeif the equalizer is used for two horses. Suitable braces orconnectingrods may be connected to the pole and single and double treesparallel with the plates 53.54. The plates 53 and 54 are each providedcentrally with openings 59, in which are removably secured rods and 61,said rods having their free ends connected to the ends of an angularplate 62, said plate having an opening 63, adapted to receive the frontend of a rod 64, the rear end of which is connected to the rear part ofthe under casting forthe beam and having its front end, after passing upthrough opening 63, passed through one of the openings 63", formed inthe front of the same casting, and being further braced by means of anangularly-extending rod 65, secured to the tongue and to the extension39, said extension being provided with anumber of openings 66, withinany one of which a rod 65 may be placed, thus allowing of a readyadjustment of the parts.

Itwill be readily seen that when aforward pull is exerted on the doubleand single trees the pole or tongue will have a partial backwardmovement, which is of great ad vantage, as it steadies the plow in anobvious manner and tends to prevent the plow rising out of hard ground,and the pull on the rods 60 and 61 equalizes the draft on thehorses.

To prevent the rear end of the plow from.

being thrown upwardly by coming in contact with roots, stones, &c., wehave provided a bar 67, having its front end secured below thepole ortongue, said bar extending rear -wardly below the axle 1 and having itsrear end mountedwithin a link 68, suspended from the casting. (Shown inFig. 15.) is of a sufficient length to allow of the movement of thebeam; but a greater movement will be prevented by the bar 67 contactingwith the under side of the projection 69, formed onthe under side of thecasting, as shown in said figure.

The operation is believed to have been clearly set forth, and istherefore not reiterated.

The advantages of this construction are ob viously clear; but inaddition to those heretofore set forth we call attention to theelimination of the landside of usual construction forming thefollower-wheel in such manner as to cause it to act as follower andlandside, and in this manner reducing the weight of the plow to acorresponding extent.

While we have herein shown a preferred form of carrying our inventioninto effect, yet we do not desire to limit ourselves to such preferreddetails of construction, but claim the right to use any and -allmodifications thereof which will serve to carry into effect the objectsto be attained by this invention in so far as such modifications andchanges may fall within the spirit and scope of our said invention.
